10 Weeks Left!

Well Let the count down begin. I have so many different crazy emotions going on now. I am for no good reason paranoid of an early delivery. I am realizing this is real and we will have a little baby by easter! I hope he is healthy and that I don't need a c-section. My dr told me there is no need for another ultrasound because everything was fine when we found out it was a boy at 18 weeks. I have been crazy hungry! Jamie is grossed out by the amount of food that I consume. I am addicted to applesauce with cinnamon and pears.

Lazy Days

Ok so as I mentioned we went to the casino. I called it by the wrong name it is Foxwoods. It is only 40 mins away and is huge! I had a pedicure and it was expensive but amazing. I was so tired after I went and napped in the car while Jamie kept gambling. I felt pretty crappy today so we did nothing. The DR suggested I start taking iron pills so I am hoping that does the trick and gets me some energy back. I think this extra weight is really taking its toll on me. walking the dogs feels like running a marathon. Even vacuuming is tiring. Jamie said he would help but he is the worst cleaner on earth and I know I would just redo what he did. Its the thought that counts right.

Amazing spa at the casino

The gigantic Casino

All star break

Well all star break has started and we have no real plans. We are going to take the 45 min drive to the huge Foxboro Casino. It is huge. Jamie can gamble and I may get a pedicure. I had my check up and all is well. The poor DR was crazy busy and had to deliver a baby. I will be 30 weeks on Monday! So far my total weight gain is 20 lbs. I shouldnt gain more than 30 all round so thats good news also.

Jamie just went out to pick up a 19 inch tv that he won. It is weird because he was just talking about how we needed a tv for the nursery, so it was a nice surprise.

After break jamie is headed to St.Johns nfld. The same day he comes home mom and dad also fly in!!

Back ache, front ache, acne ahhhhhh!!!

So I thought I was in the clear I had made it this far but then it hit me back pain. Jamie booked me a massage on the 23rd so it better help. I also thought I was over this acne thing but no, it all came back, I got some on my belly now also blah! I keep getting icky feelings in my front now also this I believe is due to my stupid belly button making its transition to an outie! On the bright side I have no swollen body parts and no stretch marks! Fingers crossed I stay this way, well I am not opposed to my lips swelling.

Baby Tardif is growing!

28 Weeks

So I am officially entering the 3rd trimester! 12 more weeks to go. ( I am hoping only 10 left) I have an appointment on the 24th ( the day after Jamie's b-day) I believe it is just a regular check up nothing special.

The great debate we are having now is what monitor to get. There are so many out there to choose from. Jamie has his heart set on a video one so when he is at the fire pit at the cottage he can see Jax. Seriously thats the only reason Jamie wants a monitor. I cant believe how expensive they are.

I did go on the manhunt for a product here only to find out they dont have it in the US. So my mom is brining me a big canister of Penaten. (for those that dont know its bum cream). Also on a side note it is really helpful for taking the red out of zits.

For all moms out there with babies this is the best product ever. It took me awhile to find them in an array of colors but I did. The zutano bootie is amazing. It has a baby button so they never fall off! When I baby say the little girl had these and you never had to worry about cold feet!

Cribs and bedding, Check!

I spoke with my mom today and she went out an bought a crib and dresser for us for when we get back to Canada. The cribs are made in Canada and have non toxic paint. She also told me that my cousin Kris and his wife Jo are giving us their girls old crib for the cottage! I am so excited! It will be nice to get home and not have to worry about getting that stuff ready. I did find a crib set that is beautiful that is priced very well.

This is the crib but in dark finish

Jaxons everyday bedding

Cottage bedding in a costal theme that my mom bought!

Heat Wave

Beautiful view from our neighborhood while walking the dogs

Yesterday it was 60 degrees!! Thats right people 60!! It is supposed to be nice all week! I love this weather. I had an emotional moment yesterday. I was in my car and just as I was pulling in the driveway a some came on that reminded me of GR. I have developed a love hate relationship with this song and I know that anyone who has been to any michigan sporting event knows exactly what song I am talking about. "DONT STOP BELIEVING" It brought back some great memories!

27 Weeks on Monday! Time is flying! All star break is coming at the end of the month there is talk of us doing something but to tell you the truth I am very content staying in Providence cooking yummy food and getting couples massages and pedicures. We will how that flies with Jamie.

27 Weeks tomorrow!

Crossing things off our list!!

I know I am not due until April but it seems that that date is fast approaching. Jamie still doesn't fully understand the concept of being prepared and having everything we need before Jax is born. Buying so many new items can really put a dent in the bank that why I have been looking for the deals and using coupons. However Jamie has screwed me over several times so far in the deal department! The stroller we wanted was on sale but he wanted to wait to get well guess what now its not on sale!! But low and behold I got a coupon for 20% off but it is only for today so we are going to get it! Also I was really against the ugly gliders for the nursery I wanted a nice looking upholstered chair. Again Jamie said no wait, well it sold out!! So i ordered and ugly chair. Given it was cheaper but it is not as pretty. So needless to say I am never listening to Jamie again.So wish me luck my list is getting shorter and I hope by the end of February it is fully completed.

Oh yeah the only thing Jamie is all about buying is those big huge tubs of diapers. I am not even sure if there is a price difference in the US and Canada so someone let me know the answer to this. I want to know if it is worth lugging a stock pile home with us or should I really never listen to Jamie again. (We just got back from babies r us and the bins of diapers are a crappy crappy deal I knew I am always right)

My stupid ugly chair came today!

So Happy we got this today! I broke a piece putting it together but I called and they are sending me the replacement piece for free!

Looking good and being practical

I came across this necklace in a maternity store in RI. Baby teether done right don't you think. It is such a good idea! It gives you the opportunity to look good and be practical! These are my favorite kind of baby things, the ones that don't become useless once your child has grown up.

Perfect Weather

Funny story:

So Marc and Patti were down this weekend and for our xmas gift the got us a camera so we went to pick it out. We were looking around in best buy and we found some cameras that we really liked. Then the sales associate gave us a piece of information that completely ruled out a camera that we liked....... If you take a picture of a red head with this camera it is going to look really bad!!!! I almost died! We were all in almost in tears. Needless to say we did NOT get that camera!

We are having some crazy warm weather here on the east coast it is amazing! There isn't even any snow in the forcast. I will be happy if it never comes. We don't even have a snow shovel of car scraper yet, it's great.

I didnt make a nye resolution because I cant vow not to spend money or buy things because we have a baby on the way. There is no point in vowing to loose weight because I am supposed to be gaining it right now! I will make my resolutions once the baby is born, that can be my resolution!
